Suggest Remedies For A Small White Bump On The Foot

Hello, I am an American traveling through Europe right now, so going to a doctor here would take a little doing. I got bit by something in Lithuania. The bite is on the upper part of my foot and is about inch in diameter. It has a small, raised, whitish center while the surrounding tissue looks reddish/purple and looks bruised. I m assuming it s a mosquito bite, but I ve never had a mosquito bite act like this before. Do you think it is worth seeing a doctor here in person? Thank you!

Hello,

A raised white colored lesion on foot surrounded by red to purple colored skin could be due to insect bite. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and thus management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
